i too have a large document -- a book, 7MB, umpteen chapters -- and am about to have a go at indexing. i tried the Index applet first. went through the text and tagged all the relevant words in the way the applet expects. it was very very slow about generating the index -- and its eventual result got only as far as the A section. then discovered the Idxpro applet (from Chris Johnson's site). still need to come to grips with it; havent generated anything yet with it. i hope i won't have to re-do all the tagging in the text. is my new masterpage size (see separate thread) going to scupper the indexing? advice welcome! i'm quite a newbie in OPro, and i do have a knack for wanting to do things that seem obvious to me but turn out to be awkward. -- >>> no need to reply my entire message back to me ;=] Jim Nagel www.archivemag.co.uk Abbey Press Glastonbury To unsubscribe or subscribe goto: //www.freelists.org/list/davidpilling
